- Christine Francis: [the hotel is hosting a beauty pageant] Roberto, here's a list of all the room numbers. Please make sure every girl gets complimentary flowers.
- Roberto Cruz: Even the ones who don't make the finals?
- Christine Francis: Especially the ones who don't make the finals.
- Peter McDermott: Billy, what in the hell ever possessed you to jump Vance while he was holding that cannon?
- Billy Griffin: I don't know. Instinct, uh... maybe a bit of the old neighborhood showing.
- Peter McDermott: Well, I'm sorry I ever doubted you.
- Billy Griffin: Hey. You were right. The Lone Ranger? Come on. Dumb! Dumb.
- Peter McDermott: By the way, Mrs. Cabot wanted to know if you were available for lunch.
- Billy Griffin: We got a staff meeting?
- Peter McDermott: Mm-mm. Just you. Said something about wanting to fix you an authentic peasant... something.
- Peter McDermott: I found out your friend Vance is in need of a credit history. Is it possible he's an alumnus of your old alma mater?
- Billy Griffin: Look, I told you I won't let him pull anything in the St. Gregory.
- Peter McDermott: By yourself? You're gonna watch over the vault, the jewelry cases, Mrs. Cabot's safe, the payroll truck? I think it's time you stopped playing Lone Ranger.
- Peter McDermott: Did you get a chance to check out Charlie Robinson's corridors?
- Billy Griffin: I'm on my way. I was working with...
- Peter McDermott: What about room 714?
- Billy Griffin: 714?
- Peter McDermott: Yeah, Mr. Fazio's evidently on his third bottle of brandy, and the credit manager asked you to check it out this afternoon.
- Billy Griffin: I'm sorry. I spent the whole day in the vault...
- Peter McDermott: And letting everything else slide?
- Billy Griffin: I just don't want anyone breaking into it, that's all. Room 714. I'm there already.
- Peter McDermott: Billy, what's going on? Nothing to do with that friend of yours, is it? Mr, uh...
- Billy Griffin: Vance.
- Peter McDermott: Vance.
- Billy Griffin: Just a guy I knew a long time ago.
- Peter McDermott: A long time ago.
- Billy Griffin: You don't have to worry about him.
- Peter McDermott: I wasn't... 'til now.
- Frank 'Squire' Vance: Would you introduce me to this marvelous woman, Billy?
- Billy Griffin: Julie Gillette, Squire Vance.
- Julie Gillette: I remember. How are you, Squire?
- Frank 'Squire' Vance: I think the sun just came out.
- Julie Gillette: And the wolf with it?
- Frank 'Squire' Vance: Mm-mm. The wolf only comes out with a full moon, baby.
- Julie Gillette: That's not all you're full of.
- Frank 'Squire' Vance: Everybody doubts my intentions. I don't believe it.
- Billy Griffin: Maybe your mask has slipped, Squire.
- Victoria Cabot: What is that?
- Billy Griffin: That's a peasant omelet.
- Victoria Cabot: A peasant omelet, Mr. Griffin, is made with potatoes, not onions.
- Billy Griffin: Whose omelet is this, anyway?
- Victoria Cabot: [laughing] Suit yourself.
- Billy Griffin: You didn't come down here to raid the fridge, did you, Mrs. Cabot? You came looking for me.
- Victoria Cabot: You flatter yourself.
- Billy Griffin: I'm sorry.
- Victoria Cabot: But you're right. I hope your instincts are as good when it comes to dealing with Mr. Vance.
- Billy Griffin: You know about that, huh? It figures.
- Victoria Cabot: I'm concerned, Mr. Griffin, for you.
- Billy Griffin: I'll handle it.
- Victoria Cabot: Oh, I'm sure. I just hope you remember that, uh... today, right now, is all that matters. Yesterday is gone. And no one owns tomorrow.
- Billy Griffin: Squire Vance... took a knife in the gut to save my life, Mrs. Cabot. That's what I owe him. He's the reason that, for me, there is a tomorrow.
- Billy Griffin: I thought security was my responsibility.
- Peter McDermott: Everything under this roof is my responsibility. I think you've forgotten that.
- Billy Griffin: It's Squire Vance, isn't it?
- Peter McDermott: I want to know what you owe him.
- Billy Griffin: Who says I owe him?
- Peter McDermott: Well, ever since he walked into this hotel, you've been talking to me out of the side of your mouth.
- Billy Griffin: Maybe you think I owe him the keys to the vault.
- Peter McDermott: You said it, I didn't.
- Billy Griffin: You still think of me as an ex-con, don't you? You think Squire snaps his fingers and I run back to him.
- Peter McDermott: I think he thinks that.
- Billy Griffin: But do *you* think I'd help him rob the St. Gregory?
- Peter McDermott: No, I don't. But I'd be a damn fool if I left the key in the lock.
- Billy Griffin: [catching him robbing the hotel vault] I warned you not to improvise, Squire.
- Frank 'Squire' Vance: Hey, Billy, there's $2 million worth of blank industrial certificates in here, man. Fresh from the printers! All we have to do is write our names on the dotted line.
- Billy Griffin: What, you gonna play commando?
- Frank 'Squire' Vance: We used to be friends, my brother.
- Billy Griffin: That was two other guys, Squire. Now all I see is a pretty face and a pretty mouth, and I'm pretty sick of both of 'em.
- Peter McDermott: Good morning.
- Victoria Cabot: For you and me, possibly. However, I just ran into Billy Griffin, and, uh, he looks as if he hasn't slept in a week.
- Peter McDermott: It's a long story.
- Victoria Cabot: I have lots of time. I live over the store.
